Ynotplast , founded by SEAN NDIHO OBEDIH, is Britain’s first multi-ethnic brand of first aid products. Sean moved to the UK as a refugee after the civil war in Rwanda. But like most young Entrepreneurs, he did not allow his circumstance limit his scope and aspirations. The idea to launch Ynotplast came from one of his life’s experiences. He says:

“The idea came about when I visited a friend of mine and his son came home from school crying. He had been bullied by other kids for wearing a white plaster across his forehead after sustaining an injury in the playground. ”Can’t you find one that matches your skin tone?” they asked. Well when he told us what had happened we couldn’t find anything in any shops or pharmacies and this is when I realised that I could change this because if I didn’t somebody else will do it; that was my Eureka moment.”

How has the journey been for him? What were the 3 things that almost stopped him from venturing out as an entrepreneur?
